Screen wash bottle and carrier
Hi, can anyone tell me if my screen wash bottle carrier is correct for my 1958 traveller.The one fitted looks like it has always been there.Can somebody tell me if the carrier is correct,the dimension is 95mm square,would that be original? Thanks Roger
Re: Screen wash bottle and carrier
If you update the post with a photo, then we might be able to help - it's a bit difficult to answer your question when we don't know what it looks like, or where it is

Re: Screen wash bottle and carrier
A '58 Traveller would not have been fitted with washers as standard so whatever you have fitted could be correct for the period.

Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Re: Screen wash bottle and carrier
My '56 Traveller has the square glass bottle and a square metal frame carrier on the N/S bulkhead. It looks like this one available from Moss Europeestepona1999 wrote:Hi, can anyone tell me if my screen wash bottle carrier is correct for my 1958 traveller.The one fitted looks like it has always been there.Can somebody tell me if the carrier is correct,the dimension is 95mm square,would that be original?

Re: Screen wash bottle and carrier
I bought an original spare (which contains that awful impellor motor that doesn't really work) at a Beaulieu Autojumble last year for £60.00. The Moss price is out of orbit, but I used the link to show the picture.mike.perry wrote:Never standard on a Minor and at that price.......

Re: Screen wash bottle and carrier
Thankyou everyone,yes the bottle carrier shown on the Moss site is the same as the one on my traveller,though there isn't a bottle with it,in fact when I got the car it had a blue antifreeze type plastic bottle in the carrier and I ditched that.I think I will buy one from e bay which is a new bottle and a new stainless steel carrier which will look pretty smart.
Does anyone need a square carrier for their glass bottle? Thanks again,Roger

Re: Screen wash bottle and carrier
I bought one at a local show many years ago. The bottle was stood in the corner of the garage floor and shattered for no apparent reason. I also have a spare square bottle carrier!!!
